You have no idea how much better that makes me feel BW.
I'm so nervous about day 3 transfer, like there isn't much hope that it will work. I really don't want to have to move to donor sperm next year, this is our last shot and I want to do everything possible.
Can you remind me about the eating plan? Would love to get on that.
If you PM me your email address, I will send you the information that my FS gave me. It's basically just making sure you stick to a high protein, low carb diet and make sure that what carbs you do eat are low-GI (really important with PCOS). I got bad OHSS with two stim cycles until I followed the plan religiously through cycle #3. Almost religiously, I still ended up on daily blood tests and it was really obvious that the one day I slipped and ate a hamburger and chips nearly spelled disaster for the whole cycle.
I've put myself back on the eating plan for now, and have lost 3kg in 3 weeks - which is an added bonus to feeling a heap healthier and having more energy.
DH also has pretty poor sperm - he was instructed to ejaculate daily while I was on FSH injections and was also put on folate and vitamin C, but he was REALLY slack at actually taking them.
i just want to pop in and wish you the best of luck BecD! I really really want you to achieve your forever baby this time! you both deserve it so much.
BecD, also want to wish you all the best for this cycle after the setback last time! I hope you have a much better outcome this time around. As you know I am still struggling to find the answer myself but I am sure things can just work out with no logical reason. I know Smithy got her BFP on Day 2 embies, so you just never never know.
I did all sorts of transfers including 2 blastocyst transfers and 2 day 3 transfers. The one that finally worked was a day 2. So definitely don't think that blastocyst is the only chance.
BW I swear I am reliving your cycle - We got 20 eggs at epu, only 12 mature, and only five have fertilised. I am praying like there is no tomorrow that I get your outcome as well xx
